Abstract
If you want an in-depth description of what physiological effects are produced by a variety of commonly abused substances, then this is the book for you. The first half of this peer-reviewed book discusses alcohol abuse, including the impact on the fetus and the pregnant mother. Marijuana, opiates and methadone, cocaine and other stimulants, and inhalants are presented in the second half of the book. The book is targeted to medical personnel, especially those working with patients who abuse substances. The content is applicable to the Canadian setting. The layout of the book is logical. The language is aimed at the medical professional and is user-friendly for this population. The subject is timely and the cost of the book (US$49.95) is appropriate. It would be a good reference book to have on your bookshelf. I noted that while there were numerous cited articles throughout the book, many of them were from the 1970s, and the most recent were from 2001.
